The forum was organised by the Croatian Economy, Labour and Entrepreneurship Ministry and the UN Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO).
In 2004 Croatia launched a pilot project on the development of a socially responsible economy, which is being implemented by the ministries of the economy, foreign affairs and environmental protection and which covers four Croatian companies.
The aim of the project is to increase productivity and improve working conditions, safety at work, the employer-employee relationship and the relationshop between companies and the community, as well as study the environmental impact of production and adopt the principle of cleaner production.
Participants in the project are expected to present their results at the forum.
